Just wanted to share this! I think Sarah Kay’s talk is a fabulous resource for students and teachers of English alike! A mixture of poetry performance and poetry writing seminar – it makes me want to run out and form a spoken word poetry club.
The second clip is Suheir Hammad’s TED talk. I think the ways you could use these clips with students is pretty limitless. What are your TED talk favourites?

Teaching English with ICT in India 
Brilliant! very thought provoking…Thanks…..
Glad you liked them Becky! What are your favourite TED talks?
These speakers are excellent! Thanks for sharing Atiya Ma’am! I used it in one of my poetry classes for grade 8 students. This is something new for them……so initially I was not sure….but they thoroughly enjoyed it……..since the content is very mentally and emotionally provocative…..this led to a good discussion post viewing…..thanks!
I think it that shows when a resource is effective is when it can be modified and used in so many different ways for students. I too believe that teachers do play an important role in fostering learning, when ICT is incorporated, the range of learning can be momentous. Please feel free to post on any other websites or tool that could be used to benefit ESL learners.
Thanks Monisha!
Atiya.
Very helpful for discussion or debate class…….i used a couple of ted talks in my english class last week….students enjoyed it thoroughly…very good tool to improve their public speaking skills also. thanks Atiya Madam
